Jon Stewart is heading back to TV at a time when we need him most: The 2017 general election. HBO CEO Richard Plepler told CNN that he is “hopeful” that new political content from the former Daily Show host could be coming to the network soon.

Though they only confirmed that Donald Trump had received the invite, names like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Donald Rumsfeld and Jim Cramer—all of whom have been frequent targets of the satirical news show—were also mentioned as possibilities. There’s no word yet on who—if any—of the personalities will appear on the show, but if they do, it should make for some pretty entertaining television. Discuss
